All-Oregon Newsletter January 2005
Featured Events
I’m bringing you some indoor and outdoor events for something to do this month since we are in the midst of Oregon winter. Be sure and check out the Events (http://www.all-oregon.com/state/info/events.htm) section of All-Oregon for more. If you are planning a trip to attend one of these events, be sure to look to the left of the event listing for a premier lodging property to make your trip planning as easy as possible. (You will still find some pages with 2004 events; I’m waiting for updates from the local agencies and will add them as soon as possible).

Featured Attraction
Because it is storm-watching season on the Oregon coast, I thought it would be a great time for exploring Oregon lighthouses. The All-Oregon Lighthouse page (http://www.all-oregon.com/oregon_lighthouses.htm) features eleven lighthouses on the Oregon coast and one on the Columbia River. Links on this page take you to information about each lighthouse so you can learn more about these pieces of history (one is even haunted according to rumors). Remember the All-Oregon attractions pages have premier lodging properties listed in the left column to make your trip planning easier.
Featured Oregon Recipe
Since it appears I’ve got a coastal theme going on for this newsletter, I’m bringing you a crab recipe. This is crab season on the Oregon coast. Crabbing has been good this year for the commercial crabbers and for the general public who throw their crab pots into the bays from the docks and boats.
Dungeness Crab
Omelette In an omelette pan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add onion and saute. Mix crab meat, eggs and cheese, and add to pan with sauteed onions. Reduce heat slightly. As the omelette cooks, lift it with a spatula, letting the uncooked part run underneath. When the top looks creamy and almost set, increase the heat to let it brown slightly underneath. Turn the omelette onto a warmed plate and fold it in half. Garnish with parsley.
What’s New at All-Oregon
January is going to bring something new and exciting to All-Oregon (http://www.all-oregon.com). All-Oregon will have it’s own classified ad section. With over 600,000 people a year visiting All-Oregon, this should be a great way for Oregonians to sell their treasures, cars, boats and homes. If you have something you want to sell, send me an email and I’ll let you know when the site is ready to go. jackiefarris@all-oregon.com.
Another change that will be coming is a bi-monthly newsletter. As we move into spring there are so many events and so much to do in Oregon that I’m going to expand the newsletter to bring you more great information.
Well, that’s it for this issue. If you have any ideas or suggestions for me, let me know. Stay warm and dry and enjoy our Oregon winter.
